In montane forests in Bolivia, the installation of bird perches and bat shelters increased seed rain and seedling density by up to 3-5 times compared to degraded areas dominated by ferns.

GuyMIS reports 21,354 hectares of mangrove extent in Guyana in 2020, including 12,142 hectares of losses and 4,845 hectares of gains between 2015 and 2020. The system also records 32 restoration projects implemented between 2010 and 2020, including 19 seedling plantations and 13 green-grey infrastructure projects.
The research analyzes ancestral practices of using natural fertilizers and biocides in Aymara agriculture in Puno, Peru. Through an ethnographic approach, it documents how peasant families
use organic resources (such as plants, minerals, and human urine) to fertilize soils and control pests, thus preserving agricultural sustainability and traditional wisdom.

100% of the analyzed VSS include prohibitions on converting areas with high biodiversity, conservation value or carbon storage with specific cut-off dates (Larrea et al., 2021).
100% de los VSS analizados incluyen prohibiciones sobre la conversión de áreas con alto valor de biodiversidad, conservación o almacenamiento de carbono con fechas de corte específicas (Larrea et al., 2021).
5 years is the period prior to certification that the Organic standard requires farmers to show they have not converted valuable natural environments to agricultural land (Larrea et al., 2021).
5 años es el período previo a la certificación que el estándar Orgánico requiere que los agricultores demuestren que no han convertido ambientes naturales valiosos a tierra agrícola (Larrea et al., 2021).
2005 is the cut-off date established by RSPO for not certifying operations that have converted areas with high biodiversity conservation value after this date (Larrea et al., 2021).
2005 es la fecha de corte establecida por RSPO para no certificar operaciones que hayan convertido áreas con alto valor de conservación de biodiversidad después de esta fecha (Larrea et al., 2021).
